IT'S HERE - MY BLOG'S NEW DESIGN!

How many times I have said that I will make THE new design in near future? Well, it's here! Done. I did it, yay! There are small things that I will change still but from now on my blog's design looks like this. It's been wonderful and productive days and I'm happy about it!

I got bored with the older one  - I had it for two years like the previous one too. I started blogging in Jan 2012. I have this thing you know - I want to make new things.

I also want to tell you a short story behind the new header. I was in Venice in the beginning of the Jan 2015 and it was a great journey. I took part in Local Milk's Food Photography Workshop and met so many wonderful people and saw the magic happen in front of camera. Everything was so beautiful. Very talented people like Beth Kirby and Ginny Branch - what else you need to get inspiration? 

It was so beautiful place - Venice - you could walk everywhere. I found beautiful old treasures like cardboard letters I've used in my blog's header. It was one very small antique shop were they were in a rusty metal box. There were many of them and I guess they use to be part of some kind of word game like Scrabble (handmade!) but I only collected what I had in my mind. I've been planning my blog's new design for awhile and when I saw those cute and decayed letters...and I'm quite sure they whispered to me...we are coming with you ;) I also decided to make handwriting in old-fashioned way. Don't ask how many times I wrote those link letters and still they aren't perfect because they are handmade :) And who wants perfect? I know I go quite a long way when I'm doing something but it's always good to keep in mind when to stop.

My blog will still be about creative spirit and inspiration but now it also has a real touch of vintage or even antique - literally.

Today I photographed beautiful gifts we got in Local Milk's workshop. You can follow the IG links if you want to know more about makers of these treasures. There will be at least one Venice post still coming up...

Happy weekend!

Photography Concept and Styling - PROCESS

Two different processes. One plan. Same theme. Where to go from here?

To you who haven't seen the previous Photography Concept and Styling post which was also the first one of this series...I tell that with this series I want to work with different ways of representation. Maybe it gives a birth to new idea or view. 

I make a short photo essey about simple thing like word, shape, feeling, name, element, color, age, era, poem, quote...First word was triangle, you can find the photo essey here.

What would you like to see as a short photo essey? It would be wonderful to hear. Tell me simple thing like word, shape, feeling, name, element, color, age, era, poem, quote etc. You can leave a comment but if I were you I would send an email because that way nobody else can see it before it is online. You can find my email by just clicking contact button. In any case I make a decision.I already have some but love to get more words and ideas. I'm quite sure we'll make something great and new! And of course if it's your word, idea - your name will be there also. This series will be posted once in the month. I will collect them all together and you can find them also in my photographic portfolio.   

What do you think about this one? This was my own word. Very popular nowadays...almost too popular. Next one will be yours.
